  good silver; and bore a true; genuine stamp。 I should have been glad
  in my joy to throw out sparks of fire; but it has never at any time
  been my nature to sparkle。 Steel can do so; but not silver。 I was
  wrapped up in fine; white paper; that I might not mix with the other
  coins and be lost; and on special occasions; when people from my own
  country happened to be present; I was brought forward and spoken of
  very kindly。 They said I was very interesting; and it was really quite
  worth while to notice that those who are interesting have often not
  a single word to say for themselves。
  〃At length I reached home。 All my cares were at an end。 Joy
  again overwhelmed me; for was I not good silver; and had I not a
  genuine stamp? I had no more insults or disappointments to endure;
  although; indeed; there was a hole through me; as if I were false; but
  suspicions are nothing when a man is really true; and every one should
  persevere in acting honestly; for an will be made right in time。
  That is my firm belief;〃 said the shilling。
  THE END
